I was encouraged by how we stopped the run in seattle; yet, we gave up 3 huge passing plays at inopportune times. Against Seattle and the Bills we gave up touchdowns with the game on the line (crunch time). Have to be able to close out games. Obviously the last two games our run defense fell off a cliff. Our pass defense has been good; but... again, we give up big pass plays when the game is on the line. Need to work on our run defense and being more clutch on defense.

On offense we obviously need to get better along the offensive line. Giving up too much pressure when in pass protection; getting no movement in the run game. Need to coach up the offensive line, and add more talent in the draft next year.

I feel like a broken record, but the issues with this team are so blatantly obvious. Fix the offensive line and linebackers and we have a pretty good team.
